Lord Toby Young, founder of Free Speech Union, comes in to discuss Labour’s draconian free speech curtailments.


With the new APPG definition of Islamophobia set to come into law under Angela Rayner’s supervision, Keir Starmer’s fierce response to tweets, memes and livestreams after the Axel Rudakubanu killings.


But it gets worse - de-facto blasphemy laws with arrests for a Koran-burning in Manchester, a week after famous Koran-burner Salwan Momika is killed in Sweden.


We discuss the history of hate speech and free speech in the UK, Non-Crime Hate Incidents, police quangos and the latest developments in the courts.
